I love Judy and The Bridal Secret! My best friend and I went in for my appointment and were welcomed so warmly by Judy and her sales associates. The dress selection was amazing and it didnt take me long at all to find the perfect wedding gown. Judy definitely knows her wedding dresses. The whole experience was great and I can't wait to put my dress on again! Thank you Judy!!!

Amazing is the only word to describe my experience at the Bridal Secret. Being from out of state it was difficult for me to try and dress shop with my mother. We had been to almost every bridal salon on the south shore. Judy asked me what I was looking for and what problems I was having and put me in my dream dress. Not only was she able to cut a size 12 dress down to fit my size 4 frame but she made me an amazing bustle that allowed me to dance the night away and show off my turquoise cowboy boots. Every girl wants to feel like a princess on her wedding day and because I had the perfect dress, oh and by the way for under $1,000, I was one. To be more technical Judy was always able to schedule me when I was in town,would email me back from her iPhone in minutes and knows more about dresses and alterations than anyone I have ever met. Best experience ever!

I am so glad I found the Bridal Secret and Judy, my wedding day would not have been the same without her! The Bridal Secret was the first and last place that I went to look for a dress. I purchased the 4th one I tried on, I fell in love with it before it was even completely on me. Judy was so great to work with and she did such a beautiful job with the alterations and the bustle. My dress had a corset, but I did not have a bridal party to help me with it, and Judy offered to come to my hotel and help get me dressed. She went above and beyond to make sure my dress looked perfect on my wedding day. I highly recommend The Bridal Secret for her selection, prices and her personal involvement in every step of the process.

If I could give The Bridal Secret a 10 I would!! This place is amazing!! My mom passed away 2yrs ago and picking a dress was SO hard without her!! Judy (the owner) made the dredded event as special as it should have been! Plan ahead and make your appointment, b/c she doesn't do drop-in's, but it is worth it! She also did my alterations for both dresses (yes, I had TWO dresses), and they were...

I got my dress less than 2 months before the wedding, so there wasn't much time for alterations. I initially brought my dress to a place in Boston, and they quoted me $1,000 for the alterations I wanted to do. Totally shocking, I couldn't believe it when I heard the fee quote. Then my friend recommended me to the Bridal Secret, so I gave it a try. The owner, Judy, was very accommodating, her fee quote for the work was a fraction of the place in Boston. With years of experience doing bridal gowns, I had a good gut feeling about her, so I decided to go with her. Her work was absolutely amazing, my dress looked amazing and fit me perfectly. Make sure you call/email ahead of time because they are appointment only.

Wow, Judy is the best at what she does. My dress fit like a glove. The alterations on my dress were amazing she is a master seamstress she has made me realize that a true seamstress is not a job but an art that only some are capable of achieving. I love her so much for what she does I looked amazing in my dress do to the wonderful job that she did. She took time out for me and mad sure that I was satisfied. Her shop is very intimate and calm place,not like other places were there is all these other people. Not there she takes everyone by appt so you have her full attention. Thanks...

I went to the Bridal Secret because my two best friends found their dresses there and highly recommended it. The experience was truly wonderful. Judy and her salespeople are very attentive and really try to get to know you and what you are looking for. The first two dresses I tried on, I immediately wanted to buy them, but of course my mom wanted to see a few more. I had narrowed it down to a couple, and at the end my saleslady (Jill) brought over one more dress that she had picked out just for me and thought would look great. I looked at it and thought it wasn't really my style, but my mom does love lace so I tried it on anyway. When I came out of the fitting room my mom burst into tears, I began crying, and Jill began crying too. It was a very special moment and we knew this was THE dress. It was so beautiful, detailed and intricate and we were literally shocked by the price. It felt like a $10,000.00 dress but was MUCH more afforable! Judy stayed in touch with me throughout the entire process and was so flexible with my fittings (even opening early at 7 AM to see me since I was traveling in from NYC). She sent me messages to check in just before the wedding and afterwards and was so supportive. Judy has an amzing selection of beautiful designer gowns and I would recommend The Bridal Secret to anyone looking for a beautiful gown, great service, and who doesn't want to spend a fortune for an amazing dress and accessories.

Judy is AMAZING! I can't express how happy I am that I stumbled on her store. Not only is Judy amazing, but her collection is unreal. She has so many beautiful dresses at such a great price! After 45 minutes in the store, I bought my dress. They understood exactly what I wanted and picked the dress that I wore on my wedding day. Judy went above and beyond what a regular store owner would do. She treated me like I was the only bride buying from her store. I also used Judy in my alterations and they came out PERFECT! I still can't believe how beautiful my bustle came out. At my final fitting one of the strings came loose so she sent me home, fixed the strings then dropped the dress off at my house! It was so unreal. Judy understands the industry and what's always trendy. She's amazing and i would recommend her to EVERYONE!

Something that was impressed even before i visit the store was amazingly quick response to my email. Judy always replied my emails so quickly all the time. This is something I don't get often in this country...lol I had felt little disappointed according to her store policy, but she explained to me why and I have got to email back and forth like everyday! Also, she answered very nicely to many of my silly questions, since I am a kind of person who need to know what is happen next or how things I should do... so i could suck it up with 100% understanding and go forward with 100% no doubt. This was also i didn't expect and I have no idea how she finds even a chance to reply emails with her super tight booking schedule.. but she dose somehow...:D To pick a dress, she gave me helpful, honest opinions. I felt that was really honest.. not like one of those "sales talk" or "just saying" sort of opinions. It was sooo hard to pick one dress from 8 or 9 dresses that i tried on.. Dresses in the store were very pretty... She was also very helpful with my budget. By the time I picked the dress, I felt that Judy is the only one that i can entrust my dress to. Even though it was a super short notice (when I visited to her shop first time was less than a month before the wedding day!), Judy did more than wonderful alteration. I was soooooooo happy with my dress and I still am! I love my dress. I think my dress is the best!:D (probably every single Judy's brides thinks so too:) ) I can't thank Judy enough for all the hard work to my dress. There is no doubt that Judy works so hard to make her brides happy and look stunning...

This shop is great, I went to five bridal salons prior to going here and I wasn't finding anything I liked. I showed the ladies at The Bridal Secret a picture that I thought I wanted my dress to look like but they pulled a Pronovias designer dress that I loved. It is so pretty and different and unlike any other dress that I had tried on. They knew what would look good on me and were very honest. Judy (the shop owner) takes pride in her shop and you can tell. When we went in the winter, we had to take off our shoes and another time when we were early for an appointment, she had us grab coffee so she could focus on her bride. My wedding day I received so many compliments and everyone was asking where I found my dress. Can't say enough about this shop, I am so happy I found this place!!!

Judy, owner of the Bridal Secret and alteration magician, was absolutely a pleasure to work with - she is so passionate about finding the right dress for every bride and makes each and every one of us feel special up until the days before the wedding. Judy was always on top of her appointments for fittings and did an amazing job altering my dress 2 sizes down, hemming it to look like it was made for me, and most of all, crafting the GORGEOUS French bustle (which she specializes in). I got so many compliments and owe it all to Judy - thank you!!

Judy is great. She even helped my mom find her MOB outfit by linking us up with a friend of her's who works at Neiman Marcus. My dress was amazing. I got a ton of compliments, it was reasonable, and Judy's alterations were perfect! She even packed the dress for me and set me up with a place to have my dress pressed when I arrived at my destination for the wedding (California). She is the best! She's very lively, so wedding dress shopping will be fun, and she is definitely willing to give you her opinion on anything if you ask for it!

What an incredible find, I'm so lucky I went there! They were so professional and helpful, and the owner works directly with you to find the best option for your body type and style, and to make it find flawlessly. I wasn't sure if they'd laugh at my budget but instead they found something below it! It was the dress of my dreams. Something I wouldn't have pictured initially but once I tried it on and met with them I knew I had no need to go to other stores. It was a little ways away for me to travel, but I would have driven much farther for it! Everyone on my wedding day complimented the dress and how I looked in it, I felt like a princess, and I'm forever grateful!

Judy, owner of The Bridal Secret, is phenomenal. I did not purchase my dress through Judy, but she altered a wedding dress I already had - and it needed quite a number of alterations! I also purchased my veil through Judy. I feel like I simply can't put into words how amazing Judy's work is and how great she is as a person. Judy found a way to magically alter my too tight dress so that if fit perfectly and beautifully. She also provided guidance on the style of veil that would complement my gown. And, as a surprise extra, she sewed a gorgeous blue crystal bead into the bodice of my dress for my "something blue." In the two weeks before my wedding, my father had been hospitalized. Judy learned this during one of my fitting appointments and made it a point to call and email me several times to see how he was progressing. She is just a genuine good person, who happens to have an amazing talent! If you are looking for a gorgeous, affordable dress, or if you already have a vintage dress that needs alterations, call Judy first! You will not be dissapointed.

Judy is number one! It truly is, a hidden gem and I feel as though, I wish I could do more than just highly recommend The Bridal Secret. Wonderful boutique, gorgeous dress selections, veils and jewelry at reasonable prices. Extremely helpful, courteous, thorough, honest and trustworthy. I felt like I had known her for a lifetime. Her years of experience, utmost professionalism & bridal alteration skills are bar none! And she has a great sense of humor. She made my life so much easier during the hectic and stressful, wedding planning process. I am so ecstatic I found her and want to shout it out from the roof tops! Save yourself the hassle & frustration and go straight to the very best who will take care of you and will go above and beyond your expectations to make sure you are happy and satisfied. I can say this with confidence because she did. Make an appointment with The Bridal Secret. It will be the best decision you ever made and be at peace. Check that off the list!

The Bridal Secret is AMAZING ! Judy , the owner,is THE DRESS WHISPERER - She was born to do this job and she gives it her all - From the moment I called to make my first appointment she was so full of excitement and enthusiasm - She just loves what she does. When I came into the store for the first time with my mom, mother in law and Aunt I had no idea what I was looking for - Judy picked the dress that was perfect for my body type and it was like she had known me for years - she just picked the dress of my dreams ! My wedding was amazing because I felt comfortable and beautiful thanks to Judy - The dress was affordable but people believed we paid a fortune because of how elegant and delicately made it was - I cant believe that I had such a gorgeous dress - even when I look at my pictures now I am like " is that me ? Who is that girl in the AMAZING dress?" I could not thank Judy and her wonderful staff enough - This store is a hidden Gem and Judy is just unbelievable - no one can walk out of her store without the dress of their dreams ! Its just impossible ! Good luck to all the brides out there - you will be so lucky to work with The Bridal Secret !

Working with Judy was great. Our wedding was in Jamaica and we were able to find several options perfect for the beach. The dress I fell in love with was something that looked like it cost 4 times more than it did. The quality of the dress was amazing and Judy's alterations made the dress form to me beautifully. I was nervous traveling with such a special piece and Judy gave me confidence and guidance to ensure everything arrived perfectly. She has years and too many dresses to count full of experience and I highly suggest working with her if you are interested in finding something of the highest quality, but at a great price.

I went to the bridal secret 2 weeks after I got engaged - I knew I did not want to go to a department store and try on gowns 5 sizes too big and then have to order the gown and risk it not being right. I found the Bridal Secret on google and thought it was perfect for what I wanted. I went with my sister, my mother and my mother in law - Judy had known right away what gown would look the best on me! I tried on maybe 6 gowns and then she pulled out the dress of my dreams. I felt so amazing in it! Buying a wedding gown is so difficult, Judy did not push too hard but gently guided me into this huge purchase. I never doubted that the gown was the right one. Brides do not torture yourselves - you do not have to try on 100 gowns in order for it to be the perfect choice! Thank you Judy and the bridal secret!
